Brentford FC

We both slept over 10 hours last night which is a new record for Dylan. We were up for close to 30 hours on Thursday/Friday with a lot of activity so it wasn't surprising. Our first stop this morning as a rib boat tour on the Thames. This a really fast boat with some irreverent tour guides. It was a blast. We moved on to dodgems (bumper cars) at a place near the London Eye that we found when all four of us were here in 2012.

We then hit the tube to South Ealing to catch a Brentwood FC football game. It's a second division team about halfway to Heathrow in a quiet little section of London. Our guide at Wembley told us yesterday that Griffin Park is the only pitch in England with a pub on all four corners, just outside the gates. We had lunch at one of them. It's a great little field that handles about 12 thousand people which made it very fun to see the game a couple rows up from the pitch.

We made it back to the hotel by 6, hung out a little then went to dinner in the neighborhood. We are having a great time. Need to get some sleep now, Tottenham game tomorrow.
